Osmaine Dean Gabourel died in a vehicle accident on 2/28/13 shortly after midnight just outside Punta Gorda on the main highway passing through Hopeville and Cattle Landing. The Police Canine Unit vehicle of Belmopan was heading in the direction out Punta Gorda. He was the only occupant and driver of the vehicle when it ran off the road and crashed into the concrete front section of the Southern Realty and Art gallery building. The police vehicle was extensively damaged while the badly injured police constable was found outside the vehicle on the building’s front floor concrete section which was also damaged by the impact of the vehicle leaving one of the entire front wheel torn off the vehicle and was left lodged against the building’s damaged metal design front door. Civilians who were at the scene of the accident shortly after rendered assistance and rushed seriously injured police constable to the Punta Gorda hospital where he succumbed to his injuries shortly after. Police Constable Gabourel was part of a team of four who were in Punta Gorda from the Canine Unit in Belmopan who along with two canine dogs were scheduled for a Career Day presentation that day at JC Technical High School.
